Lenny Henry is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-comedian-author Lenny Henry (Harry Potter, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Henry, a cultural icon

Born Lenworth George Henry in Dudley on August 29, 1958, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history.
